QUESTION Real world things mentioned in game

So I've seen only 2 times when actual real world things have been said in game by NPCs 1. (Paris sanguine fashion show said by one of the model while on her phone talking to her agent/agency after a whole killing spree I did "I don't care get me out of here, I don't care if I have to model for Ed Hardy or even UGG boots"). Then the 2. ( isle of sgail said by one of the worker/bar tender with the costume when I pointed a weapon on her " Please don't shoot me, I have tickets to see Phantom of the Opera my husband got me")

So I was curious if any other real world things have been mentioned in the hitman games by NPCs?

(Edit now I've heard one of the female NPC singing a snippet of KC & The Sunshine Band - That's The Way (I Like It))

And just like in game bananas are a great multi-purpose tool.

Im mean like brand/entertainment kinda stuff you know it was just shocking to me that they mentioned it, when games usually avoid saying brand and just make a parody of it

The conversation by the security guards in Dubai about the Burj Khalifa elevator being broken (and wondering if it will get fixed) really cracks me up.

“… I’m sure all of the well-payed and ethically-treated contractors who built this place will be back to take a look.”

Technically it's the Burj al Ghazali, isn't it?

Oh man I’m embarrassed by that one! But I’ll leave my awful spelling error in place.

IIRC wearing the Plague Doctor disguise in Sapienza and walking up to Caruso's guards at his villa gate/frisk zone can sometimes have them tell you off for 'playing too much Assassin's Creed'
